Dornier MedTech Unveils the new Medilas D LiteBeam+ Laser

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August 6, 2006 – Dornier MedTech unveils the new Medilas D LiteBeam+ at the 7th International Congress of Asian Society for Vascular Surgery Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on August 16th. 

Based on Dornier’s proven diode technology, the LiteBeam+ is a new generation laser with a 940nm wavelength, advanced intuitive user interface and a new ergonomic design.  The 30 watt Medilas D LiteBeam+, combined with a variety of thin, flexible fibers make this system ideal for a variety of applications including endovenous laser ablation and other surgical applications such as ENT.  The laser is equipped with a proprietary Lightguide Protection System (LPS) that automatically disables the laser if the sensor detects light emissions due to excessive heat at the tip.  This feature helps protect the fiber while reducing the risk of vein perforations.  The system also offers a special fibertom cutting mode that ensures even cutting during surgical procedures by controlling the temperature of the fiber tip within set limits.

The Medilas D LiteBeam+ features a high-resolution touch sensitive color display that is simple to use and allows quick and easy adjustments to all treatment parameters.  Treatment set-up is simple using the predefined hot keys.  Additionally, transporting the laser is easy due to its lightweight design and integrated handle.

“We believe this addition to our portfolio will further increase customer acceptance and round out our product offerings.  The advanced design in combination with our manufacturing quality is well appreciated.  The addition of this system in combination with the full range of flexible lightguides enables us to offer solutions for a range of applications,” commented Elvin Tay, General Manager of Dornier MedTech Asia.
